Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches
We went downtown today to try to do our part
In making our way which was led by the heart
Peanut butter and jelly was what we had to give
Something for their belly in this life that they live
Some laying on a vent others against the wall
This little comfort sent doesn't cradle their fall
But a moment of kindness with a caring hand
For in all this whole mess, God will understand
They always say thank you and look you in the eyes
I don't know quite what to do but my heart often cries
As the sandwiches finish and we then soon depart
The faces never diminish in weighing upon my heart
My grandson and I today we did the right thing
And though I may cry my heart will always sing
Even the tiniest of things when done in His Name
Oh! The joy that brings! For in Him there is no shame!
"The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of
the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
Matthew 25:40
